Chapter 1426: From frustration to fear! Zhang Lin tortures his opponent all the way!

Zhang Lin then continued, "This problem is very simple; it comes from their subsequent means."

"If they originally wanted to use certain methods to threaten, or wanted to use the lives of the other members of the archaeological team to kidnap Yang Lu and make her serve them, now all he wants to do is revenge—the purest and simplest revenge."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

Another person raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, don't they want to obtain the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book anymore?"

Zhang Lin smiled slightly and immediately said, "Actually, this person originally must have thought his skills were better than mine. In his own self-perception, I wasn't even qualified to be his opponent, which is why he held such confidence."

"But after these few clashes, this person has been rebuffed. Under this premise, he lost his original confidence. He believes that as long as I am still telling stories, and as long as the authorities continue to organize archaeological teams, even if I don't want to help them break that curse, they will definitely find the Muchen Bead. That is his thinking."

"And now, he wants to kill these few people just to make me angry. In my anger, I will naturally make different choices. In his logic, the tomb of the Muchen Bead isn't just about helping the second archaeological team lift the curse; there must be other things."

After Zhang Lin finished this sentence, he gave a strange smile. This part of his words, including this strange smile, were all transmitted to Wang Canghai.

If he had needed to use subtext during his previous storytelling to play the game against Wang Canghai—

But now that it had reached this situation, Zhang Lin simply put some things directly on the table.

Except for not naming Wang Canghai, everything else was aimed directly at the person behind the scenes.

Wang Canghai naturally understood already, and Zhang Lin's analysis once again stung Wang Canghai's most sensitive nerve. It didn't matter how proud Zhang Lin was; the key was that this so-called opponent understood him too well.

Wang Canghai was truly a bit afraid, even terrified. He hadn't been this afraid of a person in hundreds of years; even when facing King Wannu back then, he hadn't felt such fear.

He didn't know how much a person had to go through, or how many terrifying thoughts they had to carry, to be able to push things to this point today.

Yet Zhang Lin had managed to do it. He used such methods to strip him bare, and the core point of Wang Canghai's fear was that Zhang Lin hadn't seen anything—he hadn't even seen him in person.

He had just seen through such thoughts through a few phone calls and the decisions he had his people make in the tomb.

How could this not make Wang Canghai afraid?

At this moment, Wang Canghai didn't get angry; he just stood there petrified like a sculpture, not knowing what to say next. It seemed as if all subsequent responses were meaningless.

Since Zhang Lin had already analyzed all his intentions and stated them completely, it proved that regardless of whether there was a response later, Zhang Lin didn't care about this matter at all.

If it were before, Wang Canghai would have thought Zhang Lin was shooting at nothing, but he had already seen Zhang Lin's pride.

And the pride that Zhang Lin expressed had not diminished for a single moment. Amidst all these emotions, Wang Canghai now had no confidence at all.

He believed Zhang Lin was a very terrifying opponent, and even believed that he would never be able to defeat Zhang Lin!

Amidst these many circumstances, Wang Canghai's body, spirit, and emotions all collapsed together.

Even though he still had Wang family members he could use, it was the same.

Xue Long stood behind Wang Canghai. Since his master didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't say anything either.

And this sentence from Zhang Lin also served to nail the coffin shut. If Xue Long sending text messages or doing those things before was just a disguised probe—

Then now, Xue Long was basically one hundred percent certain of what he had to do next.

He had to hurry and curry favor with Zhang Lin. Even if the other party looked down on him, Xue Long had to do it now. He had to let the other party know his sincerity, and after showing this sincerity, even if the other party couldn't fully accept him—

Even if he had to be a dog for the other party, it would be fine.

This time, Xue Long's betrayal was because he wanted to be a person, but if following Wang Canghai meant he didn't even have the chance to be a dog, then he might as well go be a dog for someone else. He believed that no matter how proud Zhang Lin was, he must be missing a dog that was absolutely loyal.

Actually, when it came to the four words "absolute loyalty," his choice to betray and then try to use such a method to approach Zhang Lin seemed particularly ridiculous.

Since he could betray Wang Canghai, he could also betray Zhang Lin. People like this only had interests in their eyes, so Zhang Lin would absolutely not accept such a person's surrender.

If he had a character that could be admired, like Wu Ya, then it would be fine. But traitors were always like this; it just depended on why they betrayed.

If it were just because his life was threatened, it might be okay, but if he chose to betray Wang Canghai's group based on a comprehensive consideration of his own life and other things, then Zhang Lin would have to teach him a lesson.

Zhang Lin wasn't a junk collector; he didn't take just anyone.

Being able to accept Wu Ya and arrange for her to be his assistant was only because this little girl had a very good character. If it were just for the sake of the red and white silk, Zhang Lin definitely wouldn't have made such a choice.

And now, having an assistant to take care of his life and work, Zhang Lin had indeed lightened his burden a little. Why not?

However, all of this was based on the premise that there was nothing wrong with Wu Ya herself. If there were a problem, then this matter would have to be thought about from another angle. Just at this moment, people at the venue looked at each other, some suddenly enlightened.

And those who were confused hurriedly raised their hands and asked, "Mr. Zhang, asking a question I shouldn't, if you really said that, then this person should also be angry, but regardless, will he change his subsequent plans?"

Zhang Lin suddenly crossed his arms and said loudly, "Let him change. I have already seen some results, and what kind of reaction his skills can produce in response to this choice is all within my expectations."

"Under this premise, no matter how he changes, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
